LARD ADULTERATIoN.

A bill in which everyone who eats is inter- ested is that of Senator Saves of Massachu- setts to protect the manufacture and sale of pure lard. This is defined to mean the prod uct" usually known as lard and which is made exclusively of the fresh fat of slaughtered swine" Then follows 8 voluminous set of regulations to prevent adulterations and to impose penalties upon thosewho evade the law.
 The Cincinnati Price Current thus explains the way the adulteration of lard works: We claim we have shown to you wherein these misleading and deceptive practices of palm ing off adulterated and deleterious compounds upon the public for pure and honest goods become heavy tax upon all honest packers and it now remains for us to explain to you wherein the same practices create and impose heavy burden upon all consumers of hog products as well as packers, viz: whatever the loss may be which we are bound to make under the present state of things upon every pound of our production of strictly pure hogs lard it must be made up to us at the relatively increased price at which we must sell the remaining product of the hog In it's several parts, which is, as is plainly seen, direct and additional burden upon the con- sumner of all the other parts of the hog.
 This is plain and impressive. The sub- stance which is most used in adulterating lard is the oil extracted from cotton seed MT. Armour has admitted that he uses 3 3,000,000 gallons of the oil year in his re- fneries. It is claimed by the adulterers that lard mixed with cotton seed oil is better than lard which is pure, but those who buy lard want lard, just as those who buy butter want butter, which is said by the oleomarga inc makers to be really inferior to oleomarga- rine. The producer of honest lard cannot. it is declared, sell his goods, save at 8 loss, at the price at which the bogus goods can be sold and net large profit, and thus the honest producer is at great disadvantage. And it is related that one of the largest lard making houses in the East, house whose goods are always honest, is compelled to send them abroad to find market.
 It is fortunate that lard is no more harm fully adulterated than it is, but it is we'll enough to fix matters so that people can know whether they are buying lard or cotton seed oil or both together

No Man's Land.


 The appearance in Washington of an ac- credited representative of the settlers on the tract called the Public Strip, or No Mans Land, asking a territorial government for them, is a noteworthy incident of the Eff tieth Congress. While his request for tenn porary admission to the floor as delegate has been refused, the petition of those whom he represents has been referred to commit tee and is likely to receive due consideration.
 No Mans Land is a tract nearly one hun dred and seventy miles long, and about one- fifth as wide, situated south of Kansas and Colorado on the border of the Indian territo- ry. It lies directly west of the Cherokee land strip and contains three million six hun dred and seventy-two thousand six hundred and forty acres. It is thus twice as large as the tract called Oklahoma, and about three- feurths large as the State of Massachu- setts. Although without organized govern ment provided by Congress, it is said to have population of many hundred people, who govern themselves the best way they can. Ceded by Texas to the United States. it be- came, by virtue of certain exclusory legisla- tion in the formation of surrounding States and territories, a tract whose condition is in- dicated by it's name If it were on 8 footing with other public lands it could be safely entered and settled with assurance of pro- curing good land titles; but until lately it has been occupied only by trespassing cattle syndicates and their cowboys. Within year or two, however, it's fertile and well~ watered portions have attracted some far- mers, the movement for tilIing Oklahoma, so repeatedly checked, being perhaps divert ed in part into No Mans Land; and the settlers, although trespassers, have found themselves numerous enough to organize a fewS settlements having some features of local government.
 Last year Congress took steps to fix the status of the public land strip by arrang- ing to open it for settlement under the general land laws. The bill, however, since the adjournment in March the move- ment for obtaining 8 different disposition of the land, including it's erection into 8 territory, to be called Cimarron, has taken place.
 It is not probable that the present settlers on No Mans Land will obtain their wish They recognize that they have no titles to hardly create so small a territory in that zion. But it is not at all unlikely that some general measure may be enacted in due time uniting No Mans Land with other vacant lands, or lands that may be vacated through congressional action. One plan, repeatedly presented through the department of the in terior, has been that of removing all the In- dians now in the western part of Indian ter ritory east of longitude ninety eight degrees, and then throwing open to white settle ment the lands thus vacated west of the me ridian. Meanwhile the action of the settlers on No Mans Land will be likely to result in calling the attention of the Fiftieth Congress to the need of promptly making some dispo- sition of that region.

Several of the churches of Charleston, South Carolina, have united in an effort to secure the enforcement of the old law against Sunday liquor selling, which has lain dor mant for thirty years. This law provides a penalty of $20 for every sale made on Sun day. The new mayor is expected to take the ground that under his oath of office he is bound to enforce the law, and the liquor
 sellers are greatly agitated and say that if they are shut up they will demand the clos ing of the barbers' shops, druggists and fruit stores and stop the sale of Sunday papers.
